Vision for Music Learning

At Morda our Music curriculum seeks to inspire students with an enduring love of music. Through playing, singing, creating and performing, children will develop confidence, communication, thinking and creative skills and improve their emotional well-being. In addition, as these activities utilise both sides of the brain, it will foster connections which will improve memory and coordination. The skills involved in playing and listening to music will also help learners develop the self-esteem, self-discipline, cooperation, creativity, and self-motivation necessary for success. 
 
 

 
Children will find that music is enjoyable and relaxing which will help reduce stress.  All children will be able to experience a sense of achievement and pride from having the opportunity to learn instruments (including ukuleles and percussion) progressing in skill and difficulty. They will study musical notation and technical language.
​
Children will listen to music and learn songs from other cultures and times gaining an appreciation of the importance of Music as a global uniting form of expression.
The school offers individual or small group instrumental lessons and when normal life resumes pupils can take part in choirs (including the church choir) and other extra-curricular activities. They will have opportunities to perform as a range of venues including Shropshire Sings.

It is our vision that every child gains an understanding and love of music which they can carry with them for the rest of their lives.
